Now On Tour
For The Why Store, live music is more than what we do—it’s who we are. We love hitting the stage, playing crowd favorites and deep cuts at venues big and small across the US. There’s just no better feeling than seeing our fans lose themselves in the music.
Every Show Is Unique
With over 150 original songs and a reputation for funked-up covers, no two sets are the same. Frontman Chris Shaffer’s unmistakable voice leads the way as we blend rock, jam-band energy, funk, and bluegrass into every performance.
Stream the Classics, Grab the New
While you can stream our classics and live albums, nothing beats catching us in person. Come see a show—you might even get your hands on our newest studio album, Mothership, available exclusively at live shows.
